Generic Pokémon Fangame (Not)

[Axerax]

True, didn't even think about that.

-are not ghost/rock/steel( being resistant to tckle will make them too powerful),

You didn't need to

 

[boon]

A ghost type would be invincible from the outset -- think this's been covered already, but everything up until the second town basically only has Normal-type attacks, so that'd really unbalance things. It'd be fixed eventually, but if the player is just starting up and finds out that his starter pokemon can't possibly take any damage, he's gonna lose interest.

yeah, being invincible early and sucking later =/= not fun. ghost types are for much later in the game.

The only real possible other starter combination
is Fight - Dark - Psychic
and even that is not good because Fight is super effective against normal O.o
best idea is to just stick with Fire - Water - Grass

That doesn't work. I've picked my starters, anyway.

Fight >sf> Dark >sf> psychic >sf> fight...
Dark >nvf> Fight >nvf> psychic >U> Dark...

Psychich can't even hit dark.

The only other TRUE circle apart from Fire/Water/Grass is Rock, Flying and Fighting.

 

[Xephyr]

Rock, Flying and Fighting


Geodude/Starly/Machop

Starly>Pidgey because Pidgey sucks cocks.

But with that trio Machop and Geodude would rape due to Machop hitting Normal super effectively and Geodude resisting Normal.


But uh...

Shinx/Spheal/Trapinch is my favorite combination I've ever seen, they're all badass. Just change when they evolve to something different, considering Spheal doesn't evolve till like the high 30's.

And Shinx can be Mareep is you want. Luxray>Ampharos, though.

My mistake I looked at Seribii's chart wrong
Confused Dark for poison

What is wrong with me O.o

Shinx Spheal Trapinch is the same type combo I used in the first place, Electric Water Ground. Electric can't even affect ground, so it's null.

Looks interesting but I mean it just seems like pokemon is getting old because the stories are too similar and after a while of the same story it gets annoying.

Good luck with this project though boony!

But there's no rival. <_<

 

[boon]

now there is, whoops :P forgot to mention XD I've made sure none have type advantages over the others, maybe swinub can pwn elekid with ground.

Anyway, game dev is in full throttle! Trying to rewrite elements of Poccil's kit lol.

Story: Well, your story is quite nice. I like how you obtain that pokefeel into your story. You dont stray to far from the pokemon game, which is nice. I dont really like the whole time machine idea. It sounds kind of off to be in a pokemon game. Also, get rid of team rocket all together. They really dont fit in the game. I like the whole team Arctic. Is nice, meshes well in the pokemon game, and makes sense in a lot of ways. What's the hero's motiviation though. Why is he traveling the world to defeat the elite four and whatnot. Overall, try not to do things too unrealistic for a pokemon game. So far, you havent and have a nice amount of originality whie retaining the pokemon essence.

Graphics: You mapping is good so far. Theres not any flaws so far, though the town map looks a little bare. I like the fact that you are usind D/P graphics and not FR/LG. you game is evelvong with the poke series, not going back into time. It also shows you are putting effort into this. Other than that, there is really not much to comment so far.

Other: So far, this project looks like its coming along smoothly. You seem to be putting time and effort into this one boon. Keep up the good work. ill keep my eye out on this one.

 

[EpE]

ill give it a try if it is challenging..

well best of luck in the progress

It will be :3

I dig the idea of a gym being a training ground for trainers school's pupils. This will explain their pokemon being low level.
One tiny thing is, traditionally female trainers use cute pokemon, so Zangoose looks out of place. But it's really your choice if to keep to the old games with this.
Secondly, gym leader's name usually hint to their type: Norman-Normal type, Morty-ghost type, etc. It Doesn't have to sound like Normal, but hint it, like Morty comes from Latin word mortis(death) and also sounds like mortal. Whiteport and Clarissa (from 'clear' I suppose?) don't seem to be enough, I thought Whitney was also a bad name for normal type, as the relation isn't very clear.

Clarissa is just a plain old name. Whitney for White?

Anyway, the next gym is Buglan -- guess his type?

 

[mawk]

traditionally female trainers use cute pokemon

and is there any reason it has to stay that way

Er...yes! Yeah! Totally agreed to this! ;D

White for normal, since it's such a mundane, boring colour? (technically white's not even a colour but WHATEVER)

Exactly. Who says Pokemon has this strict formula that has to be followed? Why not change it up a bit? Make a really tomboyish female gym leader or something.

I think some of you are thinking that Pokemon has to follow this pattern. This is not true. Yeah, there should still be eight gym leaders, evil team the player has to fight, all that kind of stuff, but that doesn't mean it has to be so similar to the games that something as silly as having a female trainer with "tough"-looking Pokemon should really even be noticed.

 

[boon]

Whitney had a Miltank ;3 With rollout.

Plus Devvie I didn't mean you were working on the game :x I meant you're a character because you're that cool B]

Anyway yeah, I was just upping the post above me when they complained about how Whiteney had nothing to do with a Normal Gym, when Whitney is obviously white. (raccist gamms)

What's with a female trainer having to use cute Pokémon anyway? I mean dude Cynthia uses Garchomp & Spiritomb which are pretty ugly ;o;

But I know plenty of girls who when they play Pokemon, they pick tough ones not cute ones.

 

[Twirly]

This gamm looks cool.
I really like that you are trying to be as original as possible (new starters, decent story, custom graphics)
